The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3734 - 3724: The Giant Hand Shrouding the Dark
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Xu Shenglong was taken aback! Indeed! The two of them were merely passing through this barren land. If these two were really sent by the Dark Domain, would they directly say the term ’Dark Domain’ out loud? If that were the case, the name of the Dark Domain would probably have long been known by everyone, wouldn’t it?
Xu Shenglong nodded and said, "I understand. But how did Brother Ye determine the abilities of these two? Even if they are frauds, it would be extremely dangerous to rashly attack them, right?"
Ye Chen, hearing this, had a chilling look in his eyes and said, "It’s even simpler. If the abilities of these two greatly exceeded yours, wouldn’t they be slaughtering humans instead of just pigs?"
Ye Chen coldly smiled, looking at the currently extremely miserable tall man and said, "Those who rely on such petty tricks to make profits are likely just small-time roles living at the bottom in the Dark Domain. Their abilities wouldn’t be that great. However..."
"Even if they are small roles, they are still individuals who survived in the Dark Domain. Killing is probably as simple for them as breathing, isn’t it? The reason they didn’t attack us is simply because they lacked absolute confidence in keeping you here. That being the case, their level of cultivation shouldn’t surpass yours!"
The eyes of the man on the ground trembled even more intensely. This young man at the Heavenly God Realm not only had extraordinary ability but could also completely see through their true intentions at a glance! He had seen many incredible existences in the Dark Domain, yet even those people seemed not as mysterious as Ye Chen! He even had a premonition that this young man in front of him would cause a storm in the Dark Domain!
As for Xu Shenglong, looking at Ye Chen, his eyes almost sparkled! He increasingly felt that leaving the Nine Saint Demon Sect to follow Ye Chen might be the most correct decision he had ever made in his life!
At this time, Ye Chen finally focused his full attention on the tall man, smiling indifferently and saying, "After all, you are people from the Dark Domain, thinking of self-destruction even at this moment?"
The tall man, upon hearing this, his expression changed, but before he could react, an irresistible force of divine soul pressed down on his mind! Originally, a wisp of spiritual energy that had just barely gathered was instantly dispersed! At this moment, the tall man felt that his divine soul was in the palm of a demonic hand, not only fully comprehending all his thoughts but also wishing to make his soul scatter, it would be nothing but a thought!
Ye Chen coldly spoke, "Do you have any accomplices?"
Under the control of this soul power, the tall man had no chance of lying. As soon as he thought of lying, Ye Chen would instantly be aware! He had no choice but to answer with his soul, "No..."
Ye Chen then asked, "Is the real Dark Domain envoy ahead?"
The tall man answered, "Not far ahead, there is a bridge leading deep into the thick fog. In front of the bridge, there is a man, and he is the real envoy of the Dark Domain..."
Ye Chen nodded, and spoke again, "Will anyone avenge you?"
The tall man upon hearing this, had a hint of a bleak smile on his soul, "No..."
Ye Chen was silent for a moment and then softly said, "Then, let’s send you on your way."
As soon as the words fell, that terrifying soul power exploded instantly, completely crushing the soul of the tall man! On this desolate land, the air seemed to become colder.
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered slightly and said to Xu Shenglong, "Shenglong, the Martial Cultivation World is already extremely cruel, and within the Dark Domain, it’s countless times more cruel! Here, benevolence is a taboo; we don’t have the luxury for mercy."
Having said that, he waved his hand and picked up two storage bags from the ground, as well as two crystal stone necklaces. These two crystal stone necklaces, resembling transparent purple jade, yet within the jade heart, flickered two subtle purple flames, emitting an unusual aura.
Ye Chen asked Xuan Han Yu, "Fairy Xuan, what is this?"
Xuan Han Yu replied, "This item is considered a specialty of the Dark Domain, called Annihilation Spirit Stone. Its function is to conceal one’s aura. In the Martial Cultivation World, methods to change one’s appearance are countless, but changing one’s aura isn’t as easy. Thus the Annihilation Spirit Stone was created because no one in the Dark Domain wants their identity exposed. It’s best to change your appearance before entering the Dark Domain."
Ye Chen nodded and immediately gave a piece of Annihilation Spirit Stone to Xu Shenglong.
Ye Chen said to Xu Shenglong, "This item called Annihilation Spirit Stone can conceal your aura. Put it on, and let’s change our appearance, not showing our true selves in the Dark Domain."
A surge of golden light burst forth from Xu Shenglong, engulfing his entire being. As the radiance faded, Xu Shenglong's human form had transformed by a significant margin, almost seventy percent different!
Being a demonic beast by nature, his current human guise was merely an illusion, making alterations to his appearance exceedingly simple.
Ye Chen offered a nod, his own bones emitting a series of cracks as his physique subtly elongated. His features shifted, his skin turned pallid, and in a mere blink, he morphed into a statuesque, refined young man exuding an aura of elegance.
He then declared, "From this moment, I shall be known as Ye Shitian, and you will answer to the name Tiger."
The name Ye Shitian resonated deeply within Ye Chen, stirring a potent sense of familiarity.
It was this very name that had previously paved his way through the treacherous Kunlun Mountains and the vast Lingwu Continent.
Would this Dark Domain prove to be the same?
Ye Chen harbored no certainty.
Naturally, adopting this moniker served another crucial purpose: Xia Ruoxue was privy to this alias.
Should Xia Ruoxue indeed be present within the Dark Domain, she might seek him out.
Xu Shenglong acknowledged this with a smile, replying, "Understood, Brother Ye."
Following this, Ye Chen's expression shifted once more as he retrieved a crystal stone from his storage bag. It pulsed with potent dark elemental fluctuations, drawing his intense scrutiny.
Xuan Han Yu elaborated, "This crystal is known as a Dark Crystal, serving as the currency within the Dark Domain. They are categorized into nine distinct grades. The purer the crystal, the higher its grade, with the ninth grade representing the pinnacle! The exchange rate between each grade is ten to one, yet in the Dark Domain, truly valuable commodities are often acquired through barter."
With a slight smile, Xuan Han Yu remarked, "Ye Chen, you possess quite substantial bargaining power within the Dark Domain."
Ye Chen displayed a flicker of surprise, inquiring, "What makes you say that?"
The two individuals he had recently dispatched were but minor figures, their possessions of Dark Crystals not particularly abundant. Although he had eliminated prominent figures like Lishan Fairy, Wu Huo, and Li Xiuyuan, accumulating a number of rare treasures, these items were not considered significant bargaining chips in the context of the Dark Domain's formidable warriors.
Xuan Han Yu stated, "Have you perhaps forgotten about the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow residing within you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up with realization!
Indeed!
He still possessed the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow!
Even after achieving breakthroughs, he would be unable to fully absorb the remaining Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow. The more he absorbed, the diminishing its efficacy would become, eventually rendering it completely useless.
Even if he intended to utilize a portion of the Moon Liquid Spirit Marrow to forge the Freedom Heaven, it would not necessitate a substantial amount. Considering the Moon God Secret Realm was already established, parting with some would not be detrimental!
Ye Chen and Xu Shenglong meticulously concealed any traces of their recent confrontation before proceeding deeper into the unknown.
Within the abyssal darkness, it felt as though an immense, sky-obscuring hand held sway, enveloping all existence.
What awaited Ye Chen as he ventured forth remained a profound mystery.
Would it be peril or an unforeseen opportunity?
All remained uncertain.
